खट्टा
Hindi
Etymology
Borrowed from Punjabi ਖੱਟਾ (khaṭṭā, “sour”), from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀔𑀝𑁆𑀝 (khaṭṭa), from Sanskrit खट्ट (khaṭṭa).
The expected outcome from direct inheritance is खाटा (khāṭā), so the lack of vowel lengthening before a terminate consonant means that the word was probably borrowed from Punjabi.
